I know this argument has probably been brought up, but, like many white suburban kids raised in the late 60's/70's I was never exposed to other races or cultures. Black people did not feature in any of the books we read, they didn't go to our school and I never interacted with black people until I was in my 20's! Imagine my shock when I found out that they were a lot like myself! (and, I was shocked)--anyway, not mentioning black people in school didn't negate their existance in the world and I would have been much better off if I had known more about the whole thing.
